Forum support for the newer embedding code

[DJ99X]

Sucks when you can't embed because the video doesn't support the older style code

Should be easy to update. Do you have an example?

Here's a Vimeo one. Seems that they don't support the older code anymore either.

Code: Select all

<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/66275376?byline=0&portrait=0&color=ff9933" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/66275376">Milestone MX - Pro Show 5/15/13</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/idiotboyz">IdiotBoyz</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

This is what is says when you try to select the older code

Code: Select all

This good enough?

That's good for vimeo. But there are other sites out there. Surely there's some way you can make iframe embeds work in general.

It would be easy to allow iframes, but do you really want people to be able to send you to any site they choose? The flash tag is pretty bad too, but at least with that anyone who cares can just run a flash blocker.
